Aldehyde, ketone, carboxylic acid, Ester, Amide
How does carbon hybridization relate to bonds?
sb-sp3
db-sp2
tb - sp
How do bond angles relate to bond types?
sb= 109.5 degrees
db- 120 degrees
tb- 180 degrees
Small pka?
Strong acid
Strong acid yields?
Weak conjugate base
Reaction favor what type of acid movement?
Strong acid to weak acid
Lewis acids
Receive lone pairs (sometimes carbocation) (electrophiles)
Lewis bases
Donate lone pairs (nucleophiles)
What is a conjugated compound?
compound with continuous sp2 hybridized carbons
How do resonance structures relate to stability?
More resonance structures = more stability
The shorthand of making a monomer a polymer?
Break db and repeat twice connecting all carbons together. Put brackets and an n.
What is a phenyl?
Benzene substituent attached to a large carbon chain.
What is phenol?
Benzene with an OH substituent
Ortho, meta, para arrangements?
Ortho right beside, meta one carbon between, and para is directly on other side of benzene ring
Base-catalyzed addition of water to an aldehyde or ketone?
Hydrate (two OH substituents) + OH-
Acid-catalyzed addition of water to an aldehyde or ketone?
Hydrate (two OH substituents) + H3O+
Addition of alcohol to aldehyde/ketone?
Acetal formation (Molecule with one methyl group and two methyl groups with oxygens attached) BONUS
Aldehyde/ketone + amine?
Imine formation (nitrogen double bonded to a carbon with 3 methyl groups) BONUS
How can you tell if a molecule is a carboxylic acid or derivative?
Not an aldehyde or ketone but still have carbonyl groups (+nitirle)
